Changes in nonhistone chromosomal proteins in phytohemagglutininstimulated lymphocytes
Abstract
Stimulation of bovine lymphocytes with phytohemagglutinin results in quantitative as well as qualitative changes in the nonhistone chromosomal proteins. Analysis of these proteins by hydroxyapatite chromatography and sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis shows not only a selective increase in the amount of some nonhistone proteins but also a decrease of other nonhistone protein bands. This observation is compatible with the view that nonhistone proteins have an inhibitory as well as an activating function at the genome level.
